Hello Marla, thanks for reaching out. We do have a drivers-side swing away and a rack that holds two 3-bikes. Here is what I recommend:

- Swagman Swivel Hitch Extender - 2" Hitches - Dual Side - Swing-Away Hitch Adapter # S86SR

- Swagman E-Spec Pro Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S45SR

The swing away extender works with a 2" hitch and can be configured to swing to the driver or passenger side. It has a 300 lb weight capacity which is plenty strong for a few E-bikes.

The E-spec bike rack is a very solid option for heavier bikes. It can hold two bikes weighing up to 80 lbs apiece (70 lbs if used on an RV) and it accommodates wider tires up to 5" wide. It also has locking hooks so the bikes can be locked to the rack for added security.

The big thing to keep in mind here is the total weight of the setup. You'll want to be sure the hitch on your vehicle can support the weight of the swing away, rack and both bikes.

What vehicle will you be using it on? How much do your bikes weigh?

I have an RV. It’s a Chinook Summit with the door on back of the RV. The door is offset to the right and has a step that drops down.

@MarlaP - that swing arm is really good because you can turn it upside down to have it either open on the driver side or passenger side

@MarlaP Ok nice! The Swagman rack and swing away will be a great addition to that.

This swing arm will work just fine for your application, due to the fact you can swing it either way by flipping it over. You will need the bike racks as well. Also I would recommend getting some sort of hitch stabilizer to keep it from moving around so much while driving, since it will have some play in it. Also for some reason it doesn't come with the threaded hitch pin so you will need to order that as well. Hope this helps!

@Ron Hey Ron, thanks for sharing! Great tip about adding a hitch stabilizer or anti-rattle device - that's a good call.

We have a Swagman Swivel with a Saris bike carrier. The Swagman is stout and solid, no trace of movement. It does make your rack stakeout about another foot. Even swung open it is very stout, I have been looking at them all since my comparison shopping and have yet to see a swing out adapter as stout or stouter. No regrets, super solid, no advice on your application, mine is on a Honda SUV.
